Cianne Fragione (b. 1952) works with paint, pigment, assemblage, and sculpture to evoke motifs and memories of the sea, drawing inspiration from Italian poet Eugenio Montale. Influenced by her background in dance, she explores movement, fragmentation, and transitional spaces through color and composition. Isole connects to the legacy of Abstract Expressionism, Funk, and the Figural movement, reflecting the influence of her mentors, including Jay DeFeo, Frank Lobdell, and Manuel Neri.
